No rest for teh r0xx0rz
Mehfelgeddebegaatuflek.

I hate having things on my mind. Well...stressful things. I hate having stressful things on my mind. Pleasant things aren't so hard on my mind. Which is natural, I guess. Or something. I'm confused. No I'm not. I'm just randombling. Don't mind me. ^_^

Soooooo......tomorrow. My Off period drops out of the schedule until Thursday. Which means, unfortunately, that I don't have a free period to do anything tomorrow. No 42 minutes to do any homework I might not have gotten to tonight. Like that English, or that Networking, or...studying for my English exam essays that I have to make up tomorrow after school. Or preparing for my Environmental Science presenation. Nope, no time for any of it.

Tomorrow's projected forecast: Busy with a pessimistic view of suck.

I know everything will turn out all right, but right now I'm in a pessimistic mood and I feel like making everything seem worse than it really is. So bear with me, please. Things will be better tomorrow.

First of all, I have AP English. I'm not sure what exactly we're going to be doing tomorrow....Mr. Smith gave us assignments for Friday and Monday, but I don't think he said anything about tomorrow. So, should be interesting. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Honors Calculus is after that. Math. Hurrah! A dull class, but not a bad one. Merely a means to fill the time. Mr. Williams (current math teacher) is infinitely better than Mr. Pukstas (previous math teacher).

Latin I follows Honors Calculus. I don't know what we'll be doing in this class, but then again, I never really know. I still managed to get 100s on both first and second quarter and my midterm exam, though. It's an easy class for me, but the teacher (Ms. Crosby) is an absolute nutcase. It'll be stressful just to bear her presence.

Environmental Science. I have to give a Powerpoint presentation tomorrow in front of my class with my two partners, Kimmi and Courtney. I managed to talk my way out of it today, after skillfully dodging it before midterms. See, the project was done in lieue of a midterm exam, only, we didn't have enough time to present everything before midterms. I arranged it so mine was one of the groups who was not able to present, so Mrs. Garstka was forced to grade us based on the Powerpoint alone (or video, if a group chose to do a video instead). I had thought I was all in the clear.

But nooooooooooooooooo. To be fair, Mrs. Garstka is making all of those groups present who were not able to present before midterms. She called on my group today, and I told her we weren't prepared to present today, because we didn't know we'd be presenting. That was only partly a lie. :P Kimmi and Courtney could care less when we present, and I didn't really need any more information than I'd be reading off of the slides. Just the sudden shock of learning I had to present made me uncomfortable enough to make arrangements to present tomorrow.

Ergh. Public speaking. I don't mind it so much anymore, but I'm still filled with dread as I approach it.

LUNCH!

During lunch tomorrow I have to run down to Guidance and tell them what colleges I need my information (transcript, recommendations, etc.) sent to. Also, I need to find out if the special Yale forms I gave them have been filled out. -_-; Also, our principal wanted to write a personal recommendation for anyone who was applying to Ivy League schools, so hopefully he can get that done relatively soon, too. I'll need to get food and get all that junk done in....22 minutes. Yikes.

Networking follows lunch, and I'm thinking I might miss some of the period by still being in Guidance trying to establish that I will indeed have a future somewhere. I'm supposed to read all of chapter 4 in the book tonight, which.....probably isn't going to happen at this rate. (It's 11:34 right now) Mr. Baginski dropped a not-so-subtle hint, though, that we may be having a quiz tomorrow on said chapter. Fantas-matic.....

Theology comes after Networking. This class, again, is a JOKE. I just....ergh...it almost frustrates me to be a party to such a useless gathering of students. Not that the students are useless (well, some are) but there's no point to the class besides taking up time and giving us a Theology credit. Irksome.

AP PSYCHOLOGY! Tomorrow will be my first day in the class. It's actually a full-year class, but I had Creative Writing in the same period first semester, so I couldn't take it all year. Also, I'd taken CP Psych last year, and apparently the administration doesn't allow for students to take both for credit.

So, in a sense, I'm auditing the course. I'll be sitting in on classes and doing the work and such, but it won't count for anything except as a gauge of my...umm....attentiveness? The administration doesn't want me to just be having another Off, basically.

The idea or purpose behind me taking the class in the first place is so that I can hopefully be prepared to take the AP Test in May. If I get a high enough grade on the AP Test, it can count for college credit. Combined with the AP Tests I've taken so far, and the English one I'll take this year, I could have up to four college classes already completed. w00t w00t.

That, and I really liked Psychology last year with Mrs. Bednarz. It was a ton of fun, and I liked the subject. ^_^

As yet another factor for me wanting to join the class, a fair number of my friends are in it. It's a "smart" course, so most of the people I've had classes with the past three years are in it. It'll be a nice relief from all of the CP courses I'm taking this year with the common rabble of my class.

So. That ought to be fun.

After school I have to take the essays from my English midterm. I wasn't allowed to take them on the day of my midterm because at that point my tuition wasn't paid. Some weird school policy, or something. My parents made arrangements for payment, I guess, so I'm taking the essays tomorrow after school. Wish me luck. And sense. And stuff.

I'm tired.

But, before I go.....!

Annie is a classy dame. ~_^
